Bill approval policies

You can build an approval flow for bills: conditions (such as an amount limit), consecutive steps, reminders and escalation timing. Several policies can be active at once. When more than one matches a bill, the Multiple matching policies setting decides: with Use highest priority the highest-priority one runs, with Let the requester choose the requester picks one.

Example: two-step control, but only for large bills.

  1. Click New Policy and name it Large bill.
  2. Entity Type: Bill content approval.
  3. Condition: Amount greater than 1,000,000, Currency: HUF.
  4. Approval Chain:
    • Step 1: Accounting – Assignee: Responsibility role, Accounting. Under Required bill fields on this step, tick for example Invoice category and Bank account: while they are empty, the step cannot be approved.
    • Step 2: CEO – Assignee: Responsibility role, CEO; switch on Decision note required.
  5. Reminder cadence (hours): 24, Max reminders: 3.
  6. Escalation (hours): 72, Escalate to: for example your managing director.
  7. Priority: 10 – a higher number wins.

A lower-priority General bill policy with just an accounting step is a good companion for the smaller bills.

Set the members of the roles under Settings → Responsibility roles.
